This cannot be answered properly,it obviously depends on a lot of things.On a As3s6h flop against a random in a $3/45,sure,against a 3bet from a reg in a $12,not so much.

sb's stack is what makes this questionable for me. CO prob doesnt ever fold which isnt really a problem but i wouldnt love to showdown 54. altho ive shown down worse and ppl still call way too tight so idk.

Final 4 of a $36 180. The other two stacks are shorter than me, but all three of us are short relative to the blinds. I think BB is in a spitey mood. K9 is still too good to fold here right?

4th place gets $475.20, 3rd gets $706.86, 2nd will get $1188, 1st $1782

just barely go all in but i dont think either choice matters too much

spitier makes it icm fold, being cool and having a stack makes it a shove. seems pretty inconsequential.

alright cool, i thought it was pretty darn close. thanks chris

Reads on villain are that he snap checks flop and turn and called quickly and is 31/4 over only 26 hands. Anyone not bet turn?

Was this a good call? The guy just shoves in 75bbs in my face UTG. The reason I called is because I thought he could do this with a lot of small pairs and AK or AQ.
02-15-2011 , 01:08 AM
if it was a random you've never seen before, yes this call is fine.
02-15-2011 , 01:20 AM
pretty sure i always fold there and hate being dealt jj. randoms usually have it when they do that! call obv if youve seen him do it before with other than the tits.
02-15-2011 , 01:24 AM
wat no way, randoms always have ~AT there.

another thing i notice is that he has exactly 3x starting stack which makes me think he has done the same thing twice before (or once before and got 2x action) which makes me more inclined to believe he has random ****
02-15-2011 , 01:28 AM
ftp has clearly introduced 3q ko sngs and hes the only guy with an appreciation for max value. move along.

i'd call with JJ here. not sure why we should hate it.
if he has QQ/KK whatever.
02-15-2011 , 06:42 AM
i can call and hate it at the same time. this generation is incredible at multitasking.
02-15-2011 , 11:38 AM
This is 45 mans FT.

I would push this hard pretty always, but SngNit is suggesting me the opposite. Should I really be pushing that tight of a range? And is there a difference of pushing range if I have 4bb stack or 8bb stack?

Do I really fold 22 or A5o type hands here, confused :/



I think Im pushing a bit too wide lately in early position and middle position.

Lets exchange with thoughts, happy pushing, cheers !
02-15-2011 , 01:19 PM
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I hate K8o there but you're moving into EP the next few hands and will get slapped by the blinds soon. If you're finding yourself in lots of these spots, it could be that you're missing some good spots earlier. Is K8o really the best you've seen in the past 5 hands?
02-15-2011 , 02:01 PM
not even itm gtfo out of $EV and win some chips!

Pushed JTo from MP into 4bb stacks before the FT and lost flip with AK, nothing fancy.

$EV is relevant since he is at the final table. It doesn't matter whether he's ITM yet.
02-15-2011 , 09:52 PM
no it kinda does for the same reason that the first hand of a 9 person sng should be kinda close to cEV! at some point you gotta win chips and finishing 7th isnt worth too much in a 45
